What Is Free Throw Percentage?

Field goal percentage in basketball is the ratio of field goals made to field goals attempted. Its abbreviation is FG%. Although three-point field goal percentage is often calculated separately, three-point field goals are included in the general field goal percentage.

How do you calculate free throw percentage?

Calculating your Free Throw Percentage is pretty straight forward. You simply take the number of free throws made and divide it by the total number of attempts. You then multiply that number by 100 to get the percentage.

What is a good free throw rate?

As you move down in level, the percentages change. On the college level, players who shoot above 75% are considered good shooters; while high school players should shoot over 70%. I, personally, don't think that anyone over 15 years of age (or high school age) who shoots below 70% is a good free throw shooter.
